Some stories involving magic often feature a mystical power, which is present in everything in the world, all around us, or is sometimes found in objects such as magical symbols, a mysterious ring, a precious stone or charm that a character can access. Wizards, witches and sorcerers often have the power to manipulate one or more of the natural elements, control mystical energy supposedly present within the human body and many stories strongly feature the mysterious power of the subconscious mind. While many of these traditions, practices and beliefs may be briefly touched upon in a children's story involving magic, they are not usually as fully developed as they would be in a story for adults or even one written for teenagers. However, although as a rule the older the child, the more sophisticated the concepts can be, this does not necessarily mean that the narrative has to be overly simplified for younger readers. While many of the complexities of the magical world frequently feature in books for children, they are less prevalent in novels for younger readers than in those for middle grades and those aimed at teenagers. Despite this, the story still has to be believable. It may feature outrageous monsters or people with fabulous powers, but still has to be rooted in the real world or the reader will quickly lose interest.
That fact that C S Lewis' Narnia is populated by creatures from just about every myth or legend in human history, most of them unconnected to each other in any previous stories, has never sat well with critics and purists of the fantasy genre. However, children don't care and simply appreciate a really good story. Children are very familiar with mythological creatures and many think they are real, or at least were at some point in the past. To some young children, a dinosaur or mammoth is just as genuine a unicorn or a dragon. During my own visits to schools, when discussing my historical fiction novels set in the medieval time period, children tend to know all about kings, queens, castles, knights and other aspects of the era, but invariably mention dragons. It isn't that they have a lack of historical knowledge, but merely reflects the fact that dragons and other mythological monsters are almost always associated with fantasy tales, which generally take place in a traditional sword and sorcery environment. Of course, magical creatures other than dragons appear in fantasy adventures. Sometimes they are well known such as unicorns, ogres, giants, trolls, griffins, centaurs, hypogriffs and so on, but on occasion the author invents his own, such as Falkor the Luck Dragon in Michael Ende's The Neverending Story.
